Breastfeeding

Improving the physical and emotional well-being of childbearing families and their infants is a primary goal of the State Perinatal Program (SPP). Breastfeeding with its many known health benefits for infants, children, and mothers, is a key strategy to accomplish this goal. Breastfeeding is a natural and beneficial source of nutrition and provides the healthiest start for an infant. In addition to the nutritional benefits, breastfeeding promotes a unique and emotional connection between mother and baby and helps reduce illness and the risk of SIDS.

Breastfeeding-Related Rights

Did you know that a new national law called the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act went into effect in June 2023? This new law provides groundbreaking protections for pregnant, postpartum, and pumping workers, and gives you the right to get accommodations at work that will help you keep your job and protect your health.

The law gives you the right to things like extra breaks, flexible scheduling to attend doctors' appointments, time off to recover from childbirth or miscarriage, light duty, remote work, and much more.

This new law only helps workers if they know about it. Check out the Know Your Rights site from our friends at A Better Balance to learn more.
